Because riding in a kilt is both drafty and dangerous, Shift is offering its Avenger jacket in plaid. We kid. Shift Racing is a spin-off of Fox charged with conquering the action sports market with both street and dirt gear. By adapting the visual language of a specific demographic's streetwear, it hopes to make real, protective, quality bike gear appealing to them. >

The Avenger is a street jacket made from abrasion resistant Cordura, ituses CE armor in the shoulders and elbows and has a zipper forattaching the jacket to Shift trousers. In addition to the plaid, itsavailable in black, black pinstripe and the white pinstripe seen here.While none of them are really to our taste, we do admire Shift's effortto appeal to a market that often eschews safety in favor of wifebeaters and jeans.
